Homeowners are always looking for ways to make their properties more comfortable, energy-efficient and valuable. One of the most impactful upgrades you can make is replacing old windows with modern uPVC alternatives. At Cliffside Windows we’ve seen firsthand how new uPVC windows can significantly improve a home’s efficiency and comfort.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the many benefits of upgrading to modern uPVC windows and how they can support improving your home’s overall performance.
What is uPVC?
Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC) is a durable, low-maintenance plastic material that is commonly used in window frames and doors. It offers excellent insulation properties and strength, making it an ideal and popular choice for modern windows.
Benefits of uPVC Windows
Superior Insulation
Modern uPVC windows are designed with energy efficiency in mind. The multi-chambered profile of uPVC frames provides excellent thermal performance, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature throughout the year. This improved insulation will lessen draughts, reduce your heating use and contribute to lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
Cliffside Windows offer double glazing and triple glazing for even further energy efficiency. We use Planitherm Total+ clear glass and a warm-edge Swiss spacer V bar as standard in our uPVC windows. This advanced glazing technology further improves the energy efficiency of your windows by reducing heat transfer. The argon gas fill between the panes acts as an additional insulator while the warm-edge spacer reduces heat loss around the edges of the glass unit.
Improved Temperature Control
The superior insulation properties of uPVC windows help maintain a consistent indoor temperature. This means a warmer home in the winter but also a cooler home in the summer, improving overall comfort.
This consistent temperature control can contribute to improved efficiency and even better health by reducing the risk of damp and mould growth associated with condensation.
Reduced Noise
Modern uPVC windows offer excellent sound insulation properties. This is particularly beneficial if you live in a noisy area or near busy roads but can also help dampen standard neighbourhood noise and create a more peaceful home environment.
Low Maintenance
One of the most significant advantages of uPVC windows is their low maintenance. Unlike timber windows, uPVC doesn’t rot, warp or require regular painting. This saves you time and money over the lifespan of the windows. The colour is integrated into the material so it won’t fade or peel over time. This makes uPVC windows an excellent choice for busy homeowners who can enjoy the benefits of new windows without the hassle and cost of ongoing maintenance.
Long Lasting Performance
Modern uPVC windows are built to last and require minimal upkeep. They can maintain their performance and appearance for 20-30 years or more with proper care. This longevity makes them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Wide Range of Styles
At Cliffside Windows, we offer a variety of uPVC window styles to suit any home.
Our range includes:
- Casement Windows: The most common style, offering excellent ventilation and versatility.
- Sash Windows: Perfect for traditional homes, combining classic looks with modern performance.
- Tilt and Turn Windows: Versatile windows that can open in two ways for maximum ventilation and easy cleaning.
- Bay and Bow Windows: Ideal for creating a sense of space and maximising natural light.
Whatever the architectural style of your home, we have uPVC windows that will upgrade its appearance while also improving its efficiency.
Customisable Colours and Finishes
Our modern uPVC windows come in various colours and finishes, including woodgrain effects. This allows you to match your windows to your home’s aesthetic perfectly.
Whether you prefer a classic white, a bold contemporary colour or a traditional woodgrain finish, we have options to suit your taste. This level of customisation allows you to enjoy all the benefits of uPVC windows whilst also adding style to your property.
New windows can transform the look of your home, giving it a fresh, well-maintained appearance. Whether updating an older property or refreshing a more modern home, new uPVC windows can significantly improve your home’s street appeal.
Energy efficiency is increasingly important to home buyers, and new uPVC windows demonstrate that a property is well-maintained and efficient to run. The improved appearance, robust security and potential for lower energy bills all contribute to raising your property’s value, offsetting some of the initial investment.
Advanced Locking Systems
Our uPVC windows come equipped with sophisticated multi-point locking systems, providing excellent security for your home.
Our windows feature state-of-the-art locking mechanisms that secure the window at multiple points around the frame when closed. This makes it extremely difficult to force open, providing a strong deterrent to potential intruders. Additionally, the tough nature of uPVC itself adds an extra layer of security.
